Disinformation about climate change is becoming more common—and more sophisticated. It often spreads through social media, news outlets, or public figures who use emotional language, selective facts, or misleading claims to confuse the public and delay climate action. These messages are not always easy to spot, especially when they appear to come from trusted sources or contain elements of truth. This module will help you understand what climate change disinformation looks like, why it spreads, and how to recognise the most common narratives that fuel confusion and denial.
